Apparently a Neo-Nazi group has been killing immigrants and robbing banks for 13 years, and they were only detected when two of them committed suicide and the third burned the house down.

Oddities:
* The men committed suicide via multiple rifle shots to the chest.
* The DVDs detailing their actions survived the fire, despite the guns (?) being melted.
* An agent of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution with right-wing views was apparently present at at least one of the murders.

Ok, what? How is that related?
The article i posted was about children of British soldiers who grew up in Germany and having an influence and impact there.

The tea-drinkers were always the first to stand up to the beer-drinkers ever since the last century in WWI, and WWII, so most likely WWIII too (Aunt Marge would have went "I told you so"). What I meant was that for them to start a barfight would be detrimental to the barley tea generation (the children of the Brits who grew up in Germany).

These two countries have been setting up coffeeshops-cum-bars for the past decade and kicking-ass in KSK-SAS joint teams in the Gulf twice, it would be a shame to see friends suddenly start a fight over this.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

"In major extra-terrestrial news, scientists have announced the first discovery of
at least one huge body of liquid water beyond planet Earth, offering confirmation
at last of a potential offworld habitat for alien life.

The water in question - roughly enough to fill one of the North American Great
Lakes - has been spotted beneath the ice cap covering Europa, one of the moons
of Jupiter. Better still, it's thought that the ice floating atop the hidden lake is
collapsing and mixing with the water below, offering evidence that the Europan
ice cap mixes with the oceans of water beneath it - which makes it much more
probable that life could exist in the deeps below."

I seem to recall that scientists and science fiction writters have been talking about Europa for several decades now. I think it was only after the Voyager probes went by though, as I don't recall a lot of speculation after the Pioneer probes past Jupiter...just that they had a lot better images of the place when 2001: A Space Odyssey came out so they used Jupiter instead of Saturn for the film. By the time of 2010: Odyssey Two, Voyager probes had been to Jupiter again and the idea life on Europa had come up due to the theories of underwater vents like in the Atlantic Ocean providing heat for life under the ever cracking ice shelfs.

Chalk it up to the law of unintended consequences: A team of American and British researchers found that when debtors are presented with information about how much interest they will pay if only minimum payments are made — information currently required on credit card statements under the CARD Act — they are more likely to pay only that minimum amount and no more, increasing both the duration of their indebtedness and the amount of interest they eventually pay.

Humans..... lots of wiring to jump at the Big Nasty Teeth leaping out of the bushes... unused higher faculties for long-range planning. It can be taught.... but it isn't because it doesn't fit into a consumerist ideology.
